THE "GI4TEDGED PANEL.
IT YIELDS BUr ONE JUROR TO TRY SHARP.

. GpuIyD MOIoNEY NO LONGER A BUGBEAR TO
TnH Observation-Disclosures PROCEEDINGS.
The proceedings in the Sharp were monotonous
IL dIll yesterday. Sixty-two taesmen we're o.
amncd. but they yielded only juror, making agan
eleven men ID the box. The chosen ones OF the
sgilt.edged PANEL of which so much has been ex-
peeted, did not como up tor examination until the
afternoon session, and then yielded nothing ou' a"
abundant crop of strong "opinons," IMPRESSIONS
ptejudices" and other iury-dsquairying thhgs'
And there did not seem to be anything particularly
piit-edgedn about most OF these taesmen either.
Acparentiy jury Commissioner Reilly does not know
where 20 look tor New-York's best citizens.
The TRiBUNEs exposure OF what caused the
SBlly" Moloney scare dropped the bottom clean out
OF that sensation, and the funeral rites were duly
celebrated by the afternoon papers, Sharps lawyers
glad that Mooney is not gJing to testify, but they
feel extremely at beng frightened by what was
merely intended Jest Mr.. Stckney, VINO IS az al
times rather imperyJus to joke, fnds 1t particularly
hard to appreciate the point. At times YESTERDAY ne
seemed to be hummpg something which sounded nke
the refrain of I" 1t was dream" but ne refused 10
talk about the Matter Sharp occasionally cast
reproachiul chances at Mr.. Nico 1t was well enough
TO Joke about duels detectives and such things but
the return of Billy" Moloney was something he
evidently regarded as too serious to jest about.
After some forty talesnen had been examined the
first Juror for the day was found in Alexander T.
Clarke, q spry young broker In the Cooper Union
Building and living at No. 221 East One hundred-and.
eighteenth-st. lie had merely q casual impression"
derived from reading newspapers and hearing con
yersaiion about the t" Doodle " Aldermen. lie didn't
think it would interfere with his ability to render an
impartial verdict according to the evidence. He had
some little feeling against iniormers whion wouu
make him keep sharp lookout Tor all ey dence In
favor of the defendant. Ths pun was so evidently
unintentional that he was forgiven Tor II. lie was
accepted for the PEOPLE Judge Barrett oyefIued the
challenge for the defence and Mr.. Clarke took the
fourth seat in the iury-box $4,000 .
The LAWYERS wIestled long with William Ennis,
dealer in housefurnishing goods at No 7O9 First;
ave- For nine years from 1871 TO 1880, he had
been q street conductor Oh the Second, Fourth
and Third Avenues, respectively he was eonsclen-
tously satisfied" that he would do his duty In the
jury-box. Mr.. Niooll Withdrew the challenge Tor me
people. Mr.. Stckney did not ask many questions
before announcing that the defence also satisfied
with Mr. Ennis This NAV have led Mr.. Ncol to
suspect that ii he was so desirable Juror Tor the
defence he could not be SO good man for the people
Mr. Nicoli renewed his challenge and tried again 10
get at the true nwardness OF Mr.. Enniss state OF
Iuind. Mr. Ennis this time developed a pTeJudlce
against nformers though he stnck toll that he could
render an impartial verdict His evident desire to get
into the jury-box went against him. Judge Barrett
sustained Mr. Nicoll's challenge. Ex-Judge Nelson
protested against the counsel tor the people being
allowed to renew challenge after they had with
drawn it, Judge Barrett replied that Mr. Nicoll had
acted ireiy within his rights Mr.. Nelson pointed
out that IL such sort OF business was per
mited defence also might claim the same privilege
and there would be limit the time that might be
consumed in examining tale men, 1t might easily
continue two weeks longer. rio would Ike 10 know
when the thing was going to stop.
Judge Barrett !empha.icaly,.When I'm satisfied it will
stop and it will stop much less than Two weeks,
Mr. Nelson with returning good humor)We, hope So
/ heartily tired OF It,
